The Orville season 3 "New Horizons", episode 8 "Midnight Blue"

Written by Brannon Braga & Andre Bormanis, directed by Jon Cassar.

"I thought I hated you."

When Topa goes missing during an inspection of Haveena's sanctuary colony for female Moclans, Commander Grayson and Commander Bortus make a snap decision to rescue her without support from the Orville. Once Captain Mercer figures out the real reason why Topa was taken, a rift is created between him and Haveena over what's more important in the grand scheme of things. As Grayson and Bortus enter a time-sensitive situation they are barely ready or equipped for, Mercer puts his faith in a last-ditch effort to convince Haveena to help them rescue Topa by invoking a legendary figure from Earth's history.
